ETAL  is  the  Best  Material  for  Roofing 
When  Properly  Put  On. 


It  is  used  on  almost  every  building,  either 
as  an  entire  covering,  or  in  connection  with 
slate  and  wood  shingles,  in  the  most  critical 
parts,  such  as  Valleys  and  Gutters.  Its  use 
with  wood  shingles  or  slate  is  not  a  fair  test 
of  its  durability,  because  the  wood  or  slate 
must  overlap  the  metal,  and  being  porous,  the 
moisture  from  dew  and  rain  is  retained  in  the 
over-lap,  causing  the  metal  to  decay. 

Another  disadvantage  in  using  metal  with  wood  or  slate,  is  that  it  rarely 
ever  gets  the  second  coat  of  paint,  as  climbing  over  the  roof  breaks  the  slate  or 
splits  the  wood  shingles.  It  is  impossible  to  repaint  under  the  over-lap,  there¬ 
fore  it  is  neglected,  and  when  the  Valleys  are  gone  the  roof  must  be  renewed. 

By  using  Montross  Metal  Shingles  for  the  entire  covering,  properly  put 
on,  will  give  at  least  Three  Times  the  Service,  as  it  will  dry  off  quickly  after  a 
rain,  can  be  repainted  at  a  very  trifling  cost,  and  is  not  likely  to  be  neglected.  It 
is  fire-  and  lightning-proof,  while  slate  and  wood  shingles  are  not.

NEW  HOLLAND,  PA. 

Gentlemen: — We  have  used  hundreds  of  squares  of  Montross  Metal  Shingles  and  Tiles,  and  in  every 
instance  are  giving  entire  satisfaction.  We  strongly  recommend  them  for  a  storm-  and  fire-proof  roof.

HE  BEST  Method  of 


Applying  Metal  to  a  Roof. 


The  only  effective  or  permanent  way  is  to  have  the  plates  embossed  to  stif¬ 
fen  them,  and  the  horizontal  joints  like  slating  to  over  lap  the  one  below  with  anti¬ 
capillary  grooves  formed  in  the  over  lap  to  prevent  moisture  being  drawn  under. 
The  vertical  seam  must  be  a  Telescope  Joint,  which  readily  adjusts  itself  to  all 
changes  of  temperature,  nail  along  the  top  or  side  of  the  sheet  where  all  nail-heads 
will  be  covered.  This  will  admit  of  each  plate  moving  by  contraction  or  expan¬ 
sion,  independent  of  the  balance  of  the  roof,  and  if  Montross  telescope  side-lock  is 
used,  there  will  be  no  leaks.  Be  sure  that  you  get  this  form  of  a  lock. 

AS  METAL  is  used  for  roofing  purposes  more  than  any  other  material,  is 
proof  enough  that  it  is  the  best  and  most  durable  covering  when  properly  applied. 
It  has  disadvantages  when  used  in  the  form  of  soldered  sheets,  which  do  not  allow 
for  contraction  and  expansion,  but  when  applied  in  the  form  of  shingles,  with  the 
Montross  telescope  side-lock,  it  becomes  the  best,  most  durable,  and  economical 
of  all  roofing  materials.  With  an  ordinary  amount  of  care  the  Montross  Metal 
Shingles  will  never  corrode,  are  unaffected  by  expansion  and  contraction,  are  wind-, 
weather-  and  fire-proof,  and,  above  all,  are  easily  and  cheaply  applied  or  replaced. 


4 


'THE  Reason  that  an  ordinary  Metal  Roof  rattles  in  a  high  wind. 


Because  plain  thin  sheets  are  used  with  the  joints  soldered  together,  making 
practically  one  sheet  over  the  entire  building.  Contraction  and  expansion  loosens 
the  fastenings,  and  the  wind  getting  under  it  causes  it  to  vibrate  or  pulsate.  Em¬ 
bossing  the  plates  remedies  this  difficulty  and  prevents  the  roof  blowing  off  in  a 

gale.  Montross  Metal  Shingles  and  Tiles  never  rattle  or  blow  off. 


ROPE  WALK,  PLYMOUTH  CORDAGE  CO.,  PLYMOUTH.  MASS.,  Covered,  with  30,000  square  feet 

Montross  Eastlake  Metal  Shingles. 

Montross  Eastlake  Metal  Shingles  are  especially  adapted  for  large  Factories,  Warehouses,  Grain  Elevators, 
Barns  and  all  classes  of  buildings  requiring  a  good  storm-proof  roof  at  a  moderate  cost.

ELATIVE  Values  of  Different  Metals  for  Roofing. 


Zinc,  owing  to  its  brittleness  and  its  great  contraction  and  expansion  under 
change  of  temperature  (being  nearly  double  that  of  Iron  or  Tin  Plate),  is  unfit 
for  roofing  purposes  in  this  climate. 

Black  Sheet  Iron  or  Steel  is  used  on  cheap  temporary  buildings.  It  has  to 
be  closely  watched  and  kept  thoroughly  painted  to  keep  it  from  corroding,  and 
it  is  difficult  to  repair  when  it  begins  to  go.  These  natural  weaknesses  make  it 
undesirable  for  roofing.  Its  first  cost  is  low,  will  not  give  satisfaction,  and  is  dear 
at  any  price. 

Tin  Roofing  Plates  are  made  from  the  highest  grade  of  sheet  iron  or  steel, 
protected  from  rust  with  a  coating  of  tin  and  lead  by  dipping.  This  increases 
the  durability  fully  300  per  cent.,  when  used  in  the  form  of  a  properly  constructed 
Metal  Shingle.  With  telescope  lock  it  is  the  best  low-priced  roof  you  can  use. 
With  an  occasional  coat  of  paint  it  should  last  a  lifetime. 

Galvanized  Iron  has  a  protective  coating  put  on  by  dipping  into  melted 
Zinc.  As  Zinc  is  a  very  brittle  metal,  the  plates  should  be  first  embossed  or 
stamped  into  the  shape  they  are  to  be  used  with  all  locks  made,  then  dip  them  into 
the  galvanizing  pot,  which  will  insure  an  unbroken  covering  over  the  entire  sur¬ 
face.  The  Montross  Galvanized  Shingles  and  Tiles  are  made  from  tin  plate  and 
galvanized  after  stamping. 


6 


£OPPER  is  an  Indestructible  Metal. 


Will  last  upon  a  roof  indefinitely;  needs  no  care  or  attention,  and  is  perma¬ 
nent.  It,  however,  must  be  put  on  right  to  obtain  these  results.  Its  action  by 
contraction  and  expansion  is  50  per  cent,  greater  than  iron,  therefore  close  or  sol¬ 
dered  seams  will  not  do  at  all. 


It  is  said  that  Metal  Roofing  is  objec¬ 
tionable,  as  it  rattles  in  a  wind-storm.  This 
is  true  if  plain  sheets  of  metal  are  used,  but 
where  the  plates  are  embossed  into  Metal 
Shingles  there  will  be  no  more  rattling  than 
from  slate  or  wood  shingles.

Metal  Shingles. 


Metal,  011  account  of  lower  rate  of  in¬ 
surance  and  greater  durability,  is  the  most 
economical  roofing,  and,  if  suitably  embossed, 
presents  the  highest  Architectural  appearance. 


MILLVILLE,  PA. 

Gentlemen  • 

Your  Galvanized  Victor  Shingles  are  all 
you  claim  for  them.  They  do  not  leak 
in  the  most  violent  storms,  or  when 
snow  is  drifted  on  the  roof,  neither 
did  I  paint  them— did  not  think  it  nec¬ 
essary. 

Yours  truly,

MATERIALS  Used,  Facilities  for  Manufacturing, 
A  *  Price  and  Competition. 


N  Roofing  Tin  there  is  a  very  wide  range  in  price,  weight 
and  quality,  between  the  poorest  and  full  weight  prime 
charcoal  plates.  Light-weight  plates  weigh  16  to  40 
pounds  less  per  box,  and  are  sold  proportionately  lower 
in  price.  Then  there  are  wasters,  or  culls,  which 
can  be  bought  at  almost  any  price,  being  defective 
sheets,  either  in  the  plates  or  coating,  and  no  better  for 
roofing  than  black  iron.  Montross  Metal  Shingles  and 
Tiles  are  made  of  prime  selected  sheets,  uniform  in 
thickness  and  perfectly  coated. 

Our  factory  is  equipped  with  the  latest  and  best  machinery,  specially  built  for 
manufacturing  Montross  Metal  Shingles  and  Tiles.  We  buy  at  the  lowest  prices 
and  furnish  good  material,  but  we  cannot  compete  in  price  with  inferior  roofing, 
where  iron,  steel,  light-weight  or  culled  sheets  are  used,  which  we  will  not  sell  and 
sacrifice  the  high  reputation  of  Montross  Metal  Shingles  and  Tiles.  If  you  buy 
inferior  roofing,  do  not  confound  it  with  our  goods.

E  ask  you  to  compare  Montross  Metal  Shingles 
with  other  materials  and  methods  of  applying 
metal.  The  essential  features  of  a  first-class  roof 
are  :  Durability,  ornamentation,  light  weight,  lightning- 
proof,  storm-proof  and  fire-proof,  protection  from 
heat  and  cold,  wind  and  rain. 

SLATE  possesses  several  of  these  qualities,  is 
partially  fire-proof,  and  being  nearly  eight  times  heav¬ 
ier  than  our  Metal  Shingles,  requires  a  more  expensive 
frame  work  to  carry  it.  When  exposed  to  fire  it  will 
crack  and  slide  off,  leaving  the  felt  and  sheathing  exposed  to  the  flames.  It  breaks 
from  freezing  and  thawing  or  anything  striking  it,  and  cannot  well  be  repaired, 
therefore  its  durability  is  questionable. 

WOOD  SHINGLES— The  average  life  of  wood  shingles  is  much  less  than 
formerly,  when  they  were  made  from  choice  prime  timber.  Now  they  are  being 
cut  from  soft  trees,  saplings,  limbs  and  old  cuttings,  because  prime  timber  brings 
higher  prices  for  other  purposes.  They  warp,  crack  and  split,  and  are  growing 

number  of  fires  originate  on  a  wood  shingle  roof. 

METAL  SHINGLES  cost  about  the  same  as  wood  shingles, 
when  applied ;  laid  much  faster  (only  requires  32  Eastlake  Shingles  to 
cover  100  square  feet,  and  about  1000  wood  shingles  to  cover  same  amount  of  sur¬ 
face)  ;  look  far  better;  safe  against  fire  and  lightning;  last  much  longer.  With  or- 
dinary  care  they  will  last  as  long  as  your  building  stands.

MONTROSS  VICTOR  SHINGLES, 

A  *  Most  Ornamental  Roofing  on  the  Market. 

Designed  for  the  best  class  of  Residences,  Churches  and  Public  Buildings ; 
costs  very  little  more  than  the  ordinary  Metal  Shingle.  Is  deeply  embossed 
and  presents  a  bold  and  attractive  appearance  on  the  roof ;  provided  with  Mon- 
tross  telescope  side-locks,  and  is  the  most  perfect  Shingle  in  existence.  Has  been 
thoroughly  tested ;  is  superior  to  all  other  forms  of 
roofing.  We  solicit  a  trial  order,  which  will  convince 
you  of  its  Beautiful  Architectural  appearance.  Will 
add  double  its  cost  to  the  value  of  your  building. 

Prime  quality  of  Roofing  Tin,  in  the  form  of  a 
Shingle,  will  last  as  long  as  22  gauge  black  steel  or 
iron. 

About  Paint. — Linseed  Oil  is  recognized  as  be¬ 
ing  the  best  to  use  with  any  of  the  pigments.  It  sells 
wholesale  from  50  to  60  cents  per  gallon,  yet  roofing 
paints  are  manufactured  to  sell  at  8  to  75  cents  per  gal¬ 
lon.  Below  65  cents  per  gallon  they  are  adulterations. 

The  Paint  we  use  is  of  the  best  quality.  We  mention 
these  facts  to  show  how  cheaoer  Metal  Shingles  can 
be  produced  by  using  cheap  paint.

convenient  to  handle  and  cut  to  less  waste  than  larger  sheets.  We  solicit  a  trial 
order. 


PAINTING. — Our  Tin  Shingles  and 
Tiles  are  thoroughly  painted  on  both 
sides  with  the  best  oil  paint.  For  the 
first  coat  we  use  a  red  mineral  oxide 
mixed  in  linseed  oil,  which  is  the  best  for 
preserving  the  metal,  after  which  they 
can  be  painted  any  desired  shade.  We 
can  furnish  ready-mixed  paint  for  second 
coat,  which  should  be  applied  when  roof 
is  put  on.

j^JONTROSS  Galvanized  Shingles 


and  Tiles. 


For  a  number  of  years  Ave  have  experimented  in  the 
manufacture  of  a  first-class,  durable,  Galvanized  Shingle 
that  will  give  entire  satisfaction. 

We  have  been  successful,  and  now  offer  our  custom¬ 
ers  and  the  public  something  superior  to  the  ordinary 
Galvanized  Octagon  shingle,  galvanized  iron  shingles.  Stamping  galvanized  iron,  the 
size  10x28  in.  66  shingles  per  square  coating  cracks  and  scales  off,  leaving  the  iron  exposed 

where  corrosion  will  take  place  in  a  very  short  time.  This  class  of  shingles  cost 
less,  but  are  never  satisfactory. 

Montross  Galvanized  Shingles  are  made  of  prime  tin 

plates  and  galvanized  after  they  are 
embossed  and  formed,  which  avoids 
cracking  and  scaling  off  of  the  gal¬ 
vanized  coating.  By  this  method  we 
are  producing  the  best,  double  coated 
Galvanized  Shingles  at  a  small  addi¬ 
tional  cost  over  the  ordinary  process 
of  manufacture.

Gentlemen I  can  only  say  I  am  well  pleased  with  your  shingles.  Wherever  I  have  used  them  I

Designed  for  Mansards,  Towers,  Bay  Windows, 
Bulkheads,  Porches,  siding  Queen  Anne  collages,  gables,

These  Tiles  are  the  handsomest  covering  on  the 
market.  Our  Gothic  Tile  looks  like  an  impregnable 
armor,  or  coat  of  mail ;  too  much  cannot  be  said  of  its 
rich,  attractive  appearance. 

Montross  Gothic  and  Diamond  Tiles  are  provided  with 
a  lip  or  cleat  to  secure  the  lower  point,  and  all  nail- 
heads  are  covered.  The  great  superiority  of  these  over 
other  tiles  is  its  perfect  locking  system. 


When  laid  the  lock  does  not  lay  upon  the  sheathing,  but  has  two  thick¬ 
nesses  of  metal  under  it  and  cannot  occasion  a  leak.  We  call  your  special  atten¬ 
tion  to  this  feature.  They  can  be  laid  on  curved  surface  as  well  as  plain;  are  a 
very  simple  and  easy  tile  to  lay.  Any  average  mechanic  can  put  them  on. 

In  ordering  Gothic  or  Diamond  Tiles,  if  you  will  give  the  length  of  eave 
course  we  will  cut  the  proper  amount  of  tiles  for  first  course,  marked  “A”  in

have  our  telescope  storm-proof  side-lock,  with  the  largest  overlap  of  any  shingle 
made;  are  thoroughly  secured  along  their  lower  edge  by  cleats  of  heavy  metal, 
and  are  held  in  place  permanently.  Perfect  side-

and  found  the  Metal  Shingles  apparently  as 
good  as  when  first  put  on.

An  Important  Feature  of 
Montross  Metal 
Shingles 

Embossing  of  every  sheet, 
so  as  to  allow  a  large 
dead  air  space  of  over  95% 
between  the  Metal  and 
Sheathing — the  best  non-con¬ 
ductor  known  to  science, 
equalizes  the  temperature 
and  renders  a  building  in¬ 
habitable  during  the  heat  of 
summer  and  cold  of  winter. 
Then,  again,  moisture  or  con¬ 
densation  cannot  collect 
underneath  MONTROSS 
METAL  SHINGLES.  The 
importance  of  this  should  not 
be  overlooked  on  any  build¬ 
ing. 


Gentlemen : 

I  used  seventy-five  (75)  squares  of  your 
and  have  given  good  satisfaction.

little  cheaper,  but  are  not  dur-

easy  to  put  on,  and  looks  to  me  that  they

Montross  and  Tiles. 

VICTOR  SHINGLES. 

Start  the  first  course  at  the  left  hand  side 
(as  you  stand  before  the  building) 
by  laying  the  shingles  along  the 
Eave — give  them  about  one  inch 
projection  and  nail  along  the  right 
hand  side  of  shingle,  through  the 
outer  flange 
with  one-inch 

barb-wire  nails.  Use  one  nail  at  the  lower 
end  of  flange,  and  one  nail  at  the  centre.  Be 
sure  that  the  flange  is  properly  inserted  into 


Always  break  joints  by  using  a  half  shingle  every  other 
course,  same  as  wood  shingles  and  slate  roofing.  Allow  the 
lower  end  of  Shingles  to  lap  over  the  third  corrugation  or  low¬ 
est  rib  across  the  shingles,  as  illustrated  in  cut. 

When  starting  each  course  place  two  or  more  shingles  in  position  before  nail¬ 
ing  the  first  shingle.  This  insures  laying  them  straight  across  the  building,  which 
is  absolutely  necessary  to  make  a  satisfactory  roof.

EASTLAKE  AND  OCTAGON  SHINGLES. 


Commence  at  the  right-hand  side  (as  you  stand  before  the  building),  use  the 
Eave  course  when  provided,  and  give  them  a  projection  of  about  one  inch.  Nail 
along  top  edge  above  each  cleat,  with  one-inch  barb  wire  nails.  See  that  all  flanges 
are  properly  inserted  into  side  locks  before  nailing.  If  no  Eave  Course  is  furn¬ 
ished,  nail  first  course  top  and 
bottom.  When  starting,  place 
two  or  more  shingles  in  posi¬ 
tion  before  nailing  first  shingle. 

This  insures  starting  straight 
across  the  building,  which  is 
necessary  for  a  perfect  roof, 
and  the  cleats  will  be  sufficient 
guide  to  keep  each  succeeding 
course  straight  without  the  aid 
of  a  line. 

Begin  the  next  course  at  the 
right-hand  side,  as  before,  by 
using  a  half-shingle,  so  as  to 
break  joints,  same  as  wood  OCTAGON  SHINGLE,  showing  how  to  break  joints, 

shingles  or  slate.  The  side-lock  and  where  Shingles  are  united  between  the  cleats 
must  lay  between  the  two  cleats  marked  “A.” 

which  are  riveted  on  the  centre  of  shingles,  so  that  cleats  will  fasten  the  shingles 
on  each  side  of  the  lock.  Allow  the  shingles  to  overlap  the  lower  course  to  within 
three-eighths  of  an  inch  of  the  bottom  of  the  cleats.  Secure  the  lower  edge  by 

bending  cleats  upward  over  bottom  edge  of  shin¬ 
gle,  rap  them  down  close  with  a  hammer  and 
avoid  closing  end  of  lock.  The  half-shingle,  cut 
off  in  starting  the  course,  works  in  at  opposite 
side  of  the  roof. 


EAVE  COURSE.

DIAMOND  AND  GOTHIC  TILES. 


GOTHIC 

TILE 


at  the  right-hand  side  (as  you  stand  before  the 
building)  using  the  half-tiles  or  starters  when  provided, 
otherwise  cut  five  and  one-half  inches  off  the  lower 
portion  of  tiles  for  the  first  course  (see  illustration  A) 
and  form  a  flange  inward  at  right  angles  about  three- 
eighths  of  an  inch,  which  gives  the  first  course  the 
proper  finish.  In  laying  the  tiles  it  is  necessary  to 
get  the  first  course  perfectly  straight.  Always  nail 
the  right-hand  side  of  each  tile  first,  then  place 
the  second  tile  in  position,  overlapping  the  first 
tile,  so  that  the  buttons  fit  over  each  other  ex- 
!  actly,  requiring  only  one  nail  for  each  tile.  Re 
sure  that  the  lower  points  of  tiles  are  properly 
1  fastened  with  cleats,  which  are  formed  at  the 
right-hand  side  of  each  tile. 


At  Hips  and  Ridge  of  Roof  allow  Metal  Shingles  to  overlap  each  other  one  inch, 
or  turn  the  shingles  up,  same  as  a  standing  seam  roof,  and  cover  with  Japanese 

Hip  Cap  or  Galvanized  Rope  Ridging. 

When  Covering  the  Hips  always  com¬ 
mence  at  the  eave  and  lay  toward  the  ridge, 
and  overlap  each  section  at  least  two  inches. 

JAPANESE  HIP-CAP.

Montross  Galvanized  Valley — 

Commence  at  the  eave  with  the 
notched  corners  of  the  Valley  at  the 
bottom,  overlap  or  telescope  each 
section  two  inches  and  nail  through 
outer  flange.  Our  special  Valley 
makes  a  tight  joint  without  solder, 
and  allows  for  contraction  and  ex¬ 
pansion. 

At  Chimney  and  Abutting  Walls 

turn  the  shingles  up  against  the 
bricks  about  three  inches  and  over¬ 
flash  by  using  pieces  of  shingles.
